Blake's Bath

Blake is a pretty cool cat! In fact, he's one of the coolest kiddos I know! Soo, naturally, we had to design a super cool bedroom and bath for this super cool kid :-)

Blake loves baseball and so we took his bath on a little vintage baseball spin.

I, of course, love the vintage tiles, but that paired with the metal and wood ballpark signs of yesteryear and I do believe we have a winning combo!

The wooden Boys' Locker Room sign is pretty cute, huh?!

Bin pulls, pinwheels and a gooseneck faucet all complete the look.

The honed carrarabianco slab is absolutely perfect! We used a traditional subway tile in the shower, but created a favorite graphic of mine by pairing it with gray grout. The graphic is continued in the horizontal stripes of the shower curtain fabric.

The awesome sconces that we fell in love with! These are one of my favorite specifications for this bath.

Blake's bedroom will make an appearance a little later, as it still has some finishing touches that need to be done.

It is fantastic and ALL boy!I hope you're having a great start to the week :-)

I love this bath! Can you advise of the blue paint color you used on the cabinetry for this project? Also, wondering your light source for the sconces? Thanks! I love your design blog! So inspirational!PS congrats on your new little one! We just had a new baby girl on 9/12/11!

Thank you Hannah. I can give some retail sources but I can not give out paint colors when a client and a contract is involved, I'm sure you understand. Thank you so much for reading and for the compliments! The sconce is from Pottery Barn :-)

I love this! I've been planning our boys bathroom redo and find it difficult to make it comfortable for them without turning it too kiddie. You did an amazing job blending the two, I am sure Blake likes it as much as his mom does :)

I love this inspiration! I am the mom of four boys and I am always looking for inspiration for my boys' rooms. We are creating a new bathroom for them, and I love the tile you used in the shower. I also like that you used two curtains. They way our shower is, I was needing to have two curtains and I didn't know if that would look right. But now I do!! :)Thank you!Can't wait to see Blake's room. Blessings,Traci

You’ll do anything for that little boy. I was thrilled to see a locker in the boy’s bathroom. How awesome is that? The boy loves basketball and you made him feel like he’s the star player by creating a refreshing bathroom with a locker. That is so sweet. Well, I am sure that Blake is so happy with what you’ve done for him. He’ll be so proud to have you as the sweetest mom ever!

Thanks for sharing your amazing blog. I finished this right now and thinking that it is the perfect blog I was looking for . Never stop writing, and keep up such an informative blogs. Best wishes for you.

I really love this bathroom, especially the long shower curtains. I am wanting to purchase a duvet from West Elm do try and create this look as well. For a shower with 8 foot ceilings and 5 foot wide, do you think a Queen size 88X92 will be sufficient? Or did you use a King size? Thank you so much for your response!!!
